Bummer! did it still have the regs attached? Check with TLSea scuba and federal-way underwater sports. Also check with the marine science center there and the check station on the fishing pier. If the parking attendant saw it he will probably have it for you.

Hi
We were there at the hose cleaning up about 10:30pm and didn't see anything. The lot was closed by that time so maybe it was the attendant.

I think we saw you when we were heading in? (somebody told us about the octo location?) There was one set of divers coming up before us too (2 rebreathers and one guy on doubles)

Thanks guys. I left around 330 pm or so and drove back (FROM Everett when I had that sinking feeling :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: ) and it was no longer there at 630 or so. I will call those places you mentioned Dusty.

That was us. I arrived in the parking lot around 6:30 pm. Didn't see anything when I went to pay or when rinsing afterward :pacing: I did a similar thing a few years ago at Edmunds.

I went down this early afternoon and picked-up the tank and reg from our marina attendant.
Rus (at MAST) and I got a hold of "Novice". (He had left a message with Rus earlier) "Novice" came by Redondo, called my number that we had left with him and there I was, still in the parking lot waving to him across the road. Tank, reg and system have been returned!

Glad you found you rig, man! Bet you're OCD about it from now on. I left my computer on the bumper of my car a couple years ago, luckily it didn't fall off until I pulled into my driveway. I found it the next day lol. But I haven't lost as much as a slate since then!

I'm so OCD, after I put all my stuff away, I check bumper, top of car, then get car out of parking spot, stop car, check area yet again.

Knock on wood, nada lost...
